Backup/Restore functionality provides a convenient way to save your current BeyondPod settings and feed subscriptions and later restore them on the same or a different device. Backup and Restore are accessible using: Menu > More > Settings > Backup and Restore.
Backup files are named automatically based on the date created and are stored in a (configurable) folder on your SD card. Backup files can be also shared to other applications (such as e-mail or DropBox) and pushed to multiple devices or stored in the "cloud".
If you need to back up the downloaded episode files (for example when moving to another device) you can find them in a folder called "BeyondPod" located in the root of your SD card. (The exact location can be found in: Menu > More > Settings > General Settings > Podcast Download Folder). When moving to another device, we recommend to backup (or copy/move) the entire BeyondPod folder with all files and subfolders it contains. More information about how to move BeyondPod to a different device can be found in this Knowledge base article.
Played positions and episode notes for downloaded or streamed episodes are saved as part of the backup. When restoring a backup on a different device, streamed episodes will be restored automatically, but if the downloaded episode files are not present, when restoring, they will be converted to streamed episodes (preserving the played positions).
